Timber hybrid construction with expertise

“In the realization, our own expertise was incorporated,” says Albrecht Pfeiffer, Managing Director of A. Pfeiffer Zimmerei GmbH and master carpenter. “The design was created by my wife and co-owner as well as freelance architect Kerstin Geiger-Pfeiffer. Our employees manufactured the wall elements in timber frame construction in our own production facility. They then erected the wooden structure, consisting of the prefabricated timber frame and solid wood elements, on the construction site.” In addition to load-bearing exterior and interior walls, the supporting structure consists of timber-concrete hybrid ceilings of the upper floors above the ground floor. fischer screws connect the load-bearing glued laminated timber ceilings with the concrete topping. The stairwell and basement are made of reinforced concrete. At the top is a glued laminated timber ceiling equipped with ceiling insulation with slope, a bitumen waterproofing layer, gravel covering, and a photovoltaic system.

The basic structure for the facade fastening was the proven wall brackets ATK 100 Minor. On this distance substructure, the ATK 103 was installed to invisibly fasten ceramic tiles from the porcelain stoneware specialist Mirage using clamps and undercut anchors. The wall brackets of the ATK 100 were statically designed and permanently securely fastened with fischer SXR 10 x 60 FUS long-shaft dowels. They are made of high-quality nylon with a pre-assembled fischer hexagon screw and integrated washer. Due to the low anchoring depth of only 50 millimeters, the SXR could be processed very economically for multiple fastenings of the VHF substructure.
